That's all I wanted to say. Tired of seeing Romo not make a decision and just stand there and get sacked when nothings open. He needs to either A. Scramble B. Throw it away simple as that if he keeps doing that today then I will continue to lose faith in this quarterback. Great Qb's recognize that a sack means negative yardage for some reason this hasn't sinked into Tony yet...WHy? don't know you tell me....

So since all QBs throw INTs and take Sacks there has never been a great one in the History of the NFL.

Good info.

Doesn't intentional grounding result in negative yardage?

Apprentely, we're not watching the same QB. Romo is not a sack taker. His strength is pocket awareness and scrambling. His weekness is forcing throws when the play breaksdown.

It's not just Tony Romo. It's a disease that infects ALL quarterbacks.

I think, sometimes, a quarterback is a quarterback to his and his team's detriment. By this I mean, that their decision to continue to be a quarterback hurts them. They think "I can thread that needle" or "I can squeeze it in" or "if i chuck it up, my guy will get it" yeah well, very rarely does that work. Why? Because most often, the quarterback is not as good as he thinks he is.

QBs are taught/coached on how to THROW the ball and that's what they do. IMO, more QBs need to be taught/conditioned to recognize certain conditions/situations and when to *NOT* throw the ball at a receiver.

This could be: taking a sack, throwing it away, or running for whatever yards they can get; options that lessen the risk of the ball being turned over. It's a skill IMO, because it's something they have to train their brains to accept. And it's not failure, it's just NOT hurting the team. Sure, a QB might get lucky, chuck a pass up and his guy catches, but how often does that happen? A hail mary at the end of a game...ok, but otherwise, QBs gotta smarten up and quit hurting their teams.

This MOD is the same guy that posts for Romo to scramble more and "what happened to the 2007 Romo that would make something out of nothing", Im tired of 3 and outs when Romo is throwing it away.

Hes damned if he does and damned if he doesnt.... Just watch the game and hope they go somewhere is my recommendation. Everything is out of your control and no matter how much sleep you lose trying to think of adjustments that should be made, the coaching staff will never hear you, and if they did wouldnt listen.

Good luck this season boys, ill be watching, whatever happens..

To get a forum name like landryscorner should require at a minimum a pop warner level football iq. Is that too much to ask? :mad:

screw throwing it away. he needs to scramble and throw it up ike he did in 07. this standing tall in the pocket and throwing away is horrible. his improv is the ONLY thing he has over other quarterbacks. get rid of that and he is below average as we see this year.

Actually, I was yelling, "take the sack". Sometimes it's better to take the sack and not try to force a play, and just punt the ball away. He took the sack and the Cowboys pinned Atlanta inside the 20. Great game Tony, Team, and Coaches!
